If you can't run a small state effectively, how can you expect to run a country?

This blowhard is burned toast. You can remove him now, from any future ballot, of any kind. Maybe it's time to review his hiring policies. What kind of leadership does he pick? Why was he not informed of the truth? Did he know anything prior to yesterday? He looks like a fool. What an idiot.

1. Good point

In his conference he accepts no involvement. He fired folks and apologized. I bet Kelly will talk or unless she was paid to shut up

2. That question applies to Gov Walker of Wisconsin also

3. Amen - 3x over

4. Sorry, but you cannot claim New Jersey as a 'small state'

Small in size yes but small in population hardly not. New Jersey has the 11th largest population of this country and is saddled between 2 of the largest cities in the country (NYC #1 and Philadelphia #5). Sure size-wise New Jersey is the 4th smallest state but got a major population density in it.

Calling New Jersey a 'small state' is like claiming Wyoming is a 'large state' Sure Wyoming is giant in size compared to New jersey but it has 582k citizens compared to New Jersey's almost 9 million.

New Jersey has always been a complicated state to governor but hardly a 'small state'

5. I sit corrected.

You're right.

6. No problem!

I didn't realize that New Jersey was the 4th smallest state. I knew that Rhode Island was #1, Delaware #2 and Connecticut was #3. But I expected New Hampshire and/or Vermont to be smaller than New Jersey - they are actually the 5th and 6th smallest states. So there is a ton of people crammed into that small state.

Oh and here's a good link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population_density

Population Density-wise New Jersey is #1 for population density per square mile 1,205 people per square mile. So that is huge! Ironically the largest state size-wise in the union, Alaska, has 1.2 people per square mile.

7. If you can't run a bridge effectively - how can you run a country?

More to the point I think...

8. Small state? Geographically maybe. Ranks around 11th in population with 9 million people.

Would you say that NYC is a small city? Makes about as much sense.

9. This may be instructive as to why there was no Democratic opposition or political help for Buono
